@snuupy:matrix.orgSnuupywas finding it harder to justify so right now I just swap the hdmi/usb cables every time I want to switch machines, obv no remote hands for that11:30:54
@snuupy:matrix.orgSnuupy but it's been really helpful in diagnosing stuff like network bugs or errors that show on console when I can't journalctl 11:31:25
@snuupy:matrix.orgSnuupylike one issue it helped me figure out was a rtl8111 ethernet issue where kernels older than 6.5.3 or some shit would fuck up the ethernet driver (r8169) after some period of time (like 24+hrs), someone eventually figured out it was an ACPI issue etc. etc., would've been a pain in the ass to hook it up to a monitor, it's really handy for headless stuff11:32:31

@threadpanic:matrix.orgthreadpanicWe're gonna want Claude.ai from now22:05:29

@anyone00:matrix.organyone00I wanted to create an account on Claude.ai but it does not support my country apparently02:04:13
@threadpanic:matrix.orgthreadpanicIt doesn't technically support my country either (netherlands) but I was able to make my free account using a vpn, and once that was done I no longer needed the vpn. Making a Pro account however doesn't work (yet). I complained about it to their helpdesk, for what it's worth..12:13:09
@anyone00:matrix.organyone00we might be neighbors :) does not it require a phone number in the residing country?15:11:31

@threadpanic:matrix.orgthreadpanicI don't know, because I didn't get far enough into the subscription process, but I doubt they require phone numbers. We're just going to have to wait..11:18:11
@threadpanic:matrix.orgthreadpanicAnother problem with Claude is that it gives breaking script errors with LW 11:44:47

@clovius:pancrypticon.netcloviusWhen will desktop linuxes have modern security features, for people out of the box, that work forever. like macOS or android?19:47:26
@deltanedas:kde.orgdeltanedaswyci19:58:00
@threadpanic:matrix.orgthreadpanicI dunno, I think it's just a matter of accepting the grind... I have all the security features I need, so it's possible. What kind of security features do you mean, that work 'out of the box' on macOS + Android?20:05:47

hardware security like secure boot and access restrictions.
21:03:32
@clovius:pancrypticon.netclovius* in trivial hardware security like secure boot and access restrictions.21:03:51
@threadpanic:matrix.orgthreadpanicI'm sure something will get built, eventually.. :)22:24:59

access restrictions
could you go into more details? thats not enough for me to google it
18:00:51
@zlago:matrix.orgsylviealso, Linux is the kernel, the system as a whole is GNU/Linux18:01:31

secure boot protects the boot loader and some parts of the system from being tampered with, an unacceptable luxury in linux.

In linux, this is an unacceptable luxury, and I mean literally the kind of access restrictions that are in android, limiting the possibilities of applications.

also, Linux is the kernel, the system as a whole is GNU/Linux

I disagree, this definition is misleading because there can be a system without GNU.

I'm talking about desktop linux, and since linux was intended to be a desktop system, that's what it is. And if you look up the definitions, you will find that linux is a family of desktop distributions based on the kernel of the same name, with some common standards.
